For all of us and especially people over 50 and those who are solo agers, staying connected is a challenge with the pandemic.

Yet it is critical for mental and emotional health. This conversation addresses how to stay connected as well as the importance with ideas and solutions including easy to use smartphone and computer apps.

Paul Long discusses all of this with Dr. Sara Zeff Geber who is the 2018 recipient of the “Influencers in Aging” designation by PBS’ Next Avenue, is an author, certified retirement coach, and professional speaker on retirement and aging. She has developed a niche specialty working with “Solo Agers,” people who have no children or who are aging alone. Dr. Geber is the author of the 2018 book, Essential Retirement Planning for Solo Agers: A Retirement and Aging Roadmap for Single and Childless Adults, which was recently selected as a “best book on aging well” by the WSJ. Sara is a regular contributor to Forbes.com on the topics of aging and retirement.
